I'm thinking of going to the Four Winds Rally In PA next month (August-2016) dates are the 19th thru 21st rather than going to the Sherando since there is a bit of a scheduling conflict between that and one of Jeanne's events. I went to one a number of years and had a pretty good time, seemed well organised and the city park where it is held seems to have a decent amount of shaded camping. Its not far from Erie PA, a bit south and east, by around 60 or so miles. I'm thinking of heading up on the Thursday to get a good shaded camping spot. Its around 260+ miles taking mostly state highways or slab though I'd probably go the state highway/back roads route. they have vendors, on-site food and Saturday dinner is included in rally price, all other meals are pay your own.
I'm also thinking of taking 2 days to return so as not have to rush packing Sunday and take a more leisurely route back to explore the area and find a nice place to hole up for Sunday night somewhere about 1/2 of the way back.
Be interested in riding up and camping (and perhaps riding back) together if anyone else is planning on going.
